Teddy Bear Named Mohammed Results in Arrest of Teacher; Faces 40 Lashes

By Duane Lester • Nov 26th, 2007

A teacher in a school in the Sudan let the students name a class teddy bear. The students chose “Mohammed.” The teacher is now in custody for this outrage:

A source close to the school said one teacher was angered by the naming of the teddy bear and complained to the headmistress.

Ms Gibbons was a deputy headteacher at Liverpool’s Dovecot Primary School from 2002 to this July when she left for Sudan.

Her MP, Louise Ellman, told Sky News: “This is very worrying. I understand Ms Gibbons is a very respected person, she is held in the highest regard and is seen as a person of the highest integrity.

“I’m in touch with the Foreign Office and it’s right that they should be working hard to bring about a positive end.”

Obviously, this is the Religion of PeaceTM. Hopefully, they can get this woman out of there before they start lashing her.
